Levitating Wireless Bulb- The future of electric bulb

Image
Have you ever thought of a light bulb which is a gravity-defying and will hang in the air for 22 years? Interested? Here are the details of such a product….. Wireless power transfer was invented by Nikola Tesla in the early 20th century. Wireless power transmission technologies use time-varying electromagnetic fields   to transfer electrical power from a source to a device without the aid of wires. Magnetic levitation is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. Magnetic  force is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational acceleration and any other acceleration. Simon Morris , an Art scientist, has invented a  revolutionary levitating wireless light bulb using both the technologies i.e., Levitation and Wireless Power Transmission. This device is one among the 25 best inventions of 2016, as per the Times magazine. How Does it Work? The Levitating Wireless bulb works by a combination of induction and magnetism. The un

Drink water inside the bottle and eat the whole bottle!!!

Have you ever thought of water bottle which can be consumed along with the water inside it? Name of such edible water bottle is Ooho!- “The water  you can eat”... Interested? Here are the details of such initiative…… Plastic water bottles take over 1,000 years to bio-degrade and if incinerated, they produce toxic fumes. There are 50 billion water bottles consumed globally each year (as per 2011 statistics). Around  30 billion of them are consumed in the US which shows that Americans are about 60% responsible for the problem while only being 4% of the global population. That is 1,500 water bottles consumed every second in the U.S. Each year, 17 million barrels of oil is used to produce all of those plastic water bottles. To put that into perspective, that much oil could keep a million cars fueled for an entire year! Plastic drinking bottles contain many chemicals, some of which interfere with hormones in the body. These chemicals include bisphenol-A, or BPA, and ph
